Certification. I'm curious about the ongoing saga
with aaronsw's certification. He's proving
suprisingly hard to suck into the local web of trust.

So... I read up on his projects, looked as his work,
reviewed the certification guidelines, and tried to give him
an appropriate certification (based on what I could quickly
learn).

Still no change. Very weird.

I'm quite bewildered by this trust metric. One very
generous (but, IMHO, undeserved) master-level certification
was enough to drag me up from observer to master. But the
combined efforts of quite a few people aren't helping aaron
at all.

MFTL. Wow! Between my short-term job at MIT (helping
implement a funcional programming language) and my hobby
(designing a functional/imperative/OO language), I'm
beginning to find a whole bunch of good answers to design
questions. It's nice to work with people who are much
smarter than you are. ;-)

Poll: Do I dare to open up port 80 on my cable-modem system,
and let people access my language design Zwiki? Or is that
just begging for script kiddies to open fire at Zope and
various Apache modules?
